This study found no significant differences in fat distribution between Thai women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome, though PCOS women with abnormal glucose tolerance showed higher arm fat.

In this study, the researchers used dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome exhibit a central fat distribution pattern despite not having increased overall fat compared to controls, suggesting this method's potential utility in diagnosing and monitoring PCOS.

Women with PCOS have overall higher body fat, not abnormal fat placement, and more insulin resistance.

In this study, daughters of women with PCOS and control daughters showed no significant differences in metabolic and hormonal parameters, but more PCOS daughters exhibited hirsutism at advanced pubertal stages.

This review discusses the extragenital effects of ovarian steroids, particularly focusing on aesthetic endocrinology, which suggests estrogens may slow skin aging post-menopause, though hair loss treatment efficacy is mainly confirmed for minoxidil.

This article explores evidence for a rational strategy in the endocrine and metabolic management of patients with excess body hair or scalp loss and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that young adult Ukrainian men with alopecia areata had significantly different skinfold thickness at several body sites compared to healthy peers, suggesting unique patterns of fat distribution associated with the disease.

This study observed that inhibiting androgenic activity during early postnatal development significantly decreased body weight in female rats by day 90, while affecting food intake and fat distribution in both sexes based on the inhibited testosterone metabolic pathway.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher global adiposity and increased visceral fat, particularly in the ip and mesenteric depots, compared to women without androgen excess.

This review discusses the role of ovarian steroids in skin and hair metabolism, and suggests estrogens could slow skin aging post-menopause, while minoxidil is effective for women's hair loss.

This study reports that patients with specific MFN2 mutations, including p.Arg707Trp, exhibit significant upper body fat overgrowth with suppressed leptin production, suggesting tissue-selective mitochondrial dysfunction and potential therapeutic targets.

This study suggests that specific mutations in the MFN2 gene, including the p.Arg707Trp allele, can result in tissue-selective mitochondrial dysfunction leading to excessive upper body fat growth and low leptin levels.

This study found that testosterone therapy improved physical performance and strength in older men with low testosterone over 36 months, whether administered alone or with finasteride.

This letter to the editor discusses data from a study on troglitazone for lipodystrophy, noting significant increases in subcutaneous fat without dietary changes.

This study observed that women with PCOS had significant differences in body composition and some physiological markers compared to healthy women, which may have implications for pregnancy outcomes and long-term health risks.

Men are increasingly interested in cosmetic treatments that enhance masculinity and address aging without downtime, with tailored approaches for different ethnicities and a focus on hair restoration and body contouring.

This source critically examines the limitations of using BMI to assess obesity in women, especially during reproductive, pregnancy, and postmenopausal stages, and discusses more precise alternative methods for evaluating obesity in line with sex-specific healthcare needs.

This review outlines the adverse effects of glucocorticoid excess on bones, adipose tissue, brain, and skin, with a focus on the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, and reports no new research findings.

This study concluded that current cross-sex hormone treatments for trans men and trans women are effective with a low risk of side effects in the short term, though they did observe specific clinical changes.

This article discusses the psychological impact of skin imperfections and suggests establishing a Cosmetic Dermatology Service within public health systems to address these issues ethically.

This study reported that cognitive biopsy diagnosed prostate cancer in 44% of patients with at least one previous negative biopsy, with higher detection rates in lesions classified as PI-RADS 4 and 5.

This study found that PCOS patients had higher amounts of central abdominal fat compared to weight-matched controls, which was associated with increased insulin resistance.

In this study, transgenic male mice over-expressing the androgen receptor in mesenchymal stem cells showed reduced fat mass and improved glucose clearance, suggesting enhanced androgen sensitivity may alter body composition.

This study reported that women with polycystic ovarian syndrome have higher serum irisin levels, which are associated with metabolic and hormonal imbalances, including hyperandrogenism, total cholesterol, and visceral fat.

This study identified genetic variations that could serve as candidate markers for improving body conformation traits in Kazakh fat-tailed coarse-wool sheep through marker-assisted selection.

This randomized clinical trial found that vitamin D supplementation did not significantly alter anthropometric or metabolic parameters in obese, insulin-resistant, and vitamin D-deficient women with polycystic ovary syndrome, whereas metformin effectively reduced body weight, BMI, waist circumference, total body fat, and serum glucose levels.

The book provides an overview of new trends and techniques in cosmetic dermatology.

The authors concluded that increased expression of the HSD11B1 gene in adipose tissue correlates with obesity markers and predicts insulin resistance, but this association is independent of polycystic ovary syndrome when adiposity is controlled for.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher body mass index, fat mass percentage, and skinfold thickness compared to women without PCOS.

In this study, researchers in Baghdad, Iraq found that men with hair loss had higher body fat mass and haematocrit values, and lower blood pressure compared to men without hair loss, suggesting potential links between metabolic and hematologic changes and baldness.
